District Winery, located at 385 Water Street SE on the Anacostia waterfront, is the city's first operating winery, producing wine right there in the heart of the nation's capital, and the Date Night package turns a visit into a full evening worth remembering. The experience begins inside the production facility itself, where a guide walks both of you through how District Winery actually makes its wines from grape to bottle, all while sipping through a curated tasting of house-made vintages. It is the kind of thing that makes you realize how much more interesting wine is when you can see exactly where it comes from.

After the winery tour and tasting, the evening continues with a reservation in the waterfront Tasting Room, where two additional glasses of house wine are included. The setting does a lot of the work: views of the Anacostia River, a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and the natural conversational boost that comes from having just learned something interesting together. An optional upgrade adds a $50 food and beverage credit in the Tasting Room, which makes a great night an even better one.
